Christmas and Boxing Day

Well last weekend, I had a blast again.

I probably had too much fun on Friday night, but still taught a solid 3 hour high level listening class. We counted the minutes down to midnight on Christmas Eve at the Holy Grill and then played a bunch of bar games. On Saturday night Brent and I went to Emma's after work for dinner, drinks and a gingerbread house contest (I won. Hands down). We opened presents and did a white elephant type thing. Super fun. Yesterday (Sunday), Emma and I got some vegan food at the Loving Hut and then decided we would be able to stomach the smells of the pending clean-up. After that we went down to the zoo. None of the big animals were out, but we had a great time just wandering around in the cold. We then went to get some food downtown, when to our surprise and excitement, it starting SNOWING! Now, I've been told snow is a very rare thing in Daegu. You can imagine how excited I was!

When we decided to head back to her side of town to go bowling with Travis, we figured the bus was the safest route (considering that we were pretty far from the subway). The bus we were in totally hit a car! The car started fishtailing and spinning, and the bus couldn't come to a full stop. Emma and I were the only ones on the bus saying "yes, yeS, yES, YES!!!!" until we finally hit the car. It wasn't too bad. Just crushed up the car's trunk up a bit. Either way, it was an awesome evening.

Here's some photos:
